i NEED more Mike Dean work from her 

 

heavy synth activity detected

I don’t know if anyone ever heard this song from THE IDOL? it’s produced by Mike Dean and it gave me Lana vibes the first time I heard it and I have to wonder if it could have been something unused from their sessions?

Yesss and I love Devils Paradise, I think something like that for Lana would be perfect 

 

Mike is so great, I need them to collab again. WFWF wasn’t enough

Scrapped Tracks (both confirmed and speculated):
1. Loved You Then And Now / Rock Candy Sweet (originated from COTCC sessions)
2. Fine China (Rick Nowels Version) (originated from UV sessions)
3. Say Yes To Heaven (originated from UV, HM, and LFL sessions)
4. I Can Fly (originated from UV sessions)

5. Wild One (Mike) (originated from UV and HM sessions)

6. Valley Of The Dolls (originated from LFL sessions)

7. Walkout (originated from post-LFL sessions)

8. Watercolor Eyes (originated from RCS sessions)

some info are wrong, say yes to heaven never intended to be on it, i can fly was supposed to be released already released version not original, wild one isn’t from hm sessions, valley of the dolls is just a concept that was never reworked

HARPER'S BAZAAR wrote the “Lana Del Rey Can’t Qualify Her Way Out Of Being Held Accountable.” article and she's cool with them now and on the front cover?! they way I would have turned them down and told them off

I bet this album was so good and she scrapped it for blue banisters. what a shame

Mike Dean producing for Lana was literally the equivalent to his cameo in the idol.

Sounds to me like it was an unfinished mess and i think the outtakes she used on BB are far superior to I Can Fly and Wild One.

[Zodiac Dancer 2,231]

[Daytona Beach Sparkler 5,120]

Truly a masterpiece of an album we needed
